WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

Relieved to hear that the corrupt Trump slush fund is dead. 

We cannot allow corruption to be one court decision away. Congressional Republicans need to do their jobs and stop dangerous actions like these when we see them. Because this won't be the last.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

America is at war.

Trump’s decision to put our country at risk by handing the nation’s top intelligence job to a random political lackey is reckless, insulting, and dangerous.

[Sabine VanderLinden @SabineVdL]

In April, I spent 3 days at SAS Innovate with 3,000 AI leaders. One question hung over the whole room: why does the gap between what AI promises and what AI delivers keep widening?

In regulated sectors, I found 5 answers. 🧵

[Sabine VanderLinden @SabineVdL]

The data is brutal.

1) 78–81% of organizations have deployed generative AI. 2) 80%+ report no material impact on earnings.
3) Frontier Firms? 3× the ROI of slow adopters.

The difference isn't the technology. It's the architecture.

Donald Trump is weak.

When you stand up to his bullshit, he retreats. When you challenge him, he folds.

Bullies count on fear. Stand up to them.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Republicans have caused health insurance premiums to skyrocket for millions of hardworking taxpayers.

Why?

They don’t give a damn about the personal finances of the American people.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.

“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”

“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”

“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

If we want to win in 2026 and 2028, Democrats need to take on the big fights.

Bring costs down.

End the corruption.

End the war in Iran.

Make life easier for working Americans.

No more hand-waving.

It's time to get serious.

@RepDeborahRoss Fight!

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

🚨A judge blocked the release of any dollars from Trump’s $1.7+ billion anti-weaponization slush fund while a lawsuit against it plays out.

Our courts cannot be bulldozed by this administration. This is a win — for now — against blatant corruption.

Let’s keep fighting.
